Smith and Warner have agreed to stand down as captain and vice-captain for the remainder of this Test CA
As the furore over sandpaper-gate continues, South Africa and Australia renew rivalries on the field on Friday with the Proteas aiming to secure a series win in the fourth and final Test in Johannesburg, live on Sky Sports Cricket.
After echoing the Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland in apologising to fans of the game, Paine admitted the team had not been prepared for the sheer scale of the reaction that has flowed from across the Indian Ocean over the past 24 hours.
"We had a quick chat as we do as a team every morning and Steve and Dave both announced that they were stepping down and then I was told by the chairman of selectors that I would be captain for the day", Paine said.
South Africa ended day one on 313-6 after 152 from opener Aiden Markram. It's going to fall on a number of people, but the Australian team needs to determine what they stand for, and make it pretty clear what that stance is, particularly in regards to on-field behaviour. "So it's trying to grab hold of the one positive that may come of it is guys are going to get an opportunity to play for their country". That's not the way we're going to play now, we have a different style.
"We haven't got too many guys that like to verbalise and have that sort of really hard-nosed Australian approach".
"I don't think it's the right thing Smith and Warner should be stood down during the match", Warne said in commentary.
Adding to this, both Smith and Warner have also been disallowed from captaining Australia for the next two years. This is not the way anyone imagines it happening.

He noted that Mason went to the same polling place where she'd always voted, and used a legitimate driver's license and address. She had gone to vote at her mother's insistence and brought her driver's license as identification, according to her testimony.
"Its been a frightful 24 hours to be perfectly honest and while I'm here I'd like to take the opportunity to apologise to our fans and all of the Australians back home", Paine said.
Speaking for the first time since he was elevated to the full-time captaincy, Paine said the past few days had been "strange and very difficult" for the players that remained. "It was in some trying circumstances and probably circumstances we brought on ourselves". "No one likes losing and no one likes losing in the circumstances that we have today".
Cape Town: A muted chorus of boos greeted Australia when stand-in captain Tim Paine led the team out at the start of play against South Africa on Sunday in the wake of a ball-tampering scandal. "I'd like to take the opportunity to apologise to our fans and the Australians back home and over here, they deserve better than what we put up yesterday." he said during the post-match ceremony.
"Smith and Bancroft are struggling, the enormity of what happened is starting to sink in". Unfortunately fell apart in a really ordinary manner which only rubbed salt into the wounds of what's been a frightful 24 hours for us.
Paine has been a revelation since his Ashes recall, offering much-needed composure behind the stumps and while batting with the tail.
"We still want to keep a really competitive brand of cricket but I think there's times we've got to be more respectful of our opposition, more respectful of the game of cricket". From all this dark cloud at some stage there is going to be a silver lining and I think all the guys are really keen to be involved in how that looks.
